Tlie Semi-Weekly Tribune BROWN & nASON, EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS. LA JI'NTA, - < i HJdtAPO. This is the fcoaf.nn when the bark iliders ami drunkarus are saved igatn. We wish there was some way of ac quiring more sense, as there is of ac luirtng rm<re property. As soon as a man takes a Job away from town, he takes advantage of the apportunlty to 11- about bis salary. A surprise parry i* counted a failure by the women uni* .*» they catch the one they ar** trying to surprise in bed. Th* one who work - th*- hardest re ceives the most blame. The Idle, do ing nothing a:e responsible for noth ing. We sometimes think the growling of the New York Kventng Post h dogs of pence Is more terrible than that of the dogs of war. When a girl talks a great deal about her home duties. Investigate, and you will find that they consist In turning a bed over and frying an egg. It Is a wine youth who kisses his sweetheart good-bye every chance he gem. because the examining doctor mny refuse to accept him when the time comes. During our late war Robert Toombs. If we remember rightly, declared that the south would welcome northerners into the confederacy with bloody hands to hospitable graves. It was a cruel declaration, and It seems strange now that It was uttered by a brother with regard to brothers; but war Is war. But If Weyler gets back Into Cuba the Cubans will probably translate It Into Spanish, and It will seem quite pleasant and commendable. The captain of a Spanish vessel at Manila who wnnted the fight postponed until he could get some ammunition was treated with great severity by Commo dore Dewey. The courtesy was brutal ly refused, and presently the poor fel low excused himself and went down with his crew. We learn from this how cruel war Is. It destroys all man ner of politeness, and substitutes death for the amenities. And yet Commo dore Dewey, ho far from being dropped from the service, la promoted. No wonder the Evening Poßt howls. Young John C. Fromon*. who recent ly acted as a pathfinder In Cuba of a dark night, recalls the romantic cam paign of flfty-aix. when his father wae the first national candidate of the brand-new Republican party. Colonel Fremont had run away with and mar ried Je«s!e. daughter of Senator Thos. H. Benton. oth< rwlse known as Old Bu.lion; and the lady accompanied him on one of his expeditions overland to California. One battle-cry of the campaign was "Fremont and Jessie," and It was frequently remarked by Re publicans, "We'll give 'em Jessie. And. on the whole. If those of our wo men who want to fight are serious, It might be well to let Ym do It. British foreign-trade returns nro not as satisfactory as those of our own country, and English Journals com menting on this fact do not hesitate tc say that the lack of demand from this country Is being seriously noticed. The export trade of the United Kingdom in March this year was valued at £20,834.- 000, a decrease of 3.75 per cent, from March a year ago. For the first three months of the present year the export* were more than £1.500,000 smaller than In 1897 and £3.000,000 smaller than in 1896. * The Import trade, on the other hand, shows an Increase, the higher price of cereals being a not unimpor tant factor in this latter result. Thr total Imports for the first quarter ag gregate £119.099,000, an Increase of £l.- 400,000 as compared with last year, said to have been due almost entirely tc the higher price of wheat and flour imports. According to latest mall summaries, which are not refuted by later cables, there Is not a country In Europe that does not hold out the prospect of a good wheat return, says San Franclscc Commercial News. In England farm er* feel confident, and In France a very large and early yield Is looked for. All the smaller producers make favorable reports, and even Russia, regarding which 60 many adverse reports and surmises have been industriously and persistently launched, comes to the fore with a prospect that is particularly dis couraging to tho extremists, who have all along drawn and Insisted upon the least favorable conclusions. The Ar gentine is shipping freely, and there is no prospect of an early shrinkage In exports. India ha« not been releasing wheat on so large a scale lately, but there can be no question as to the ca pacity of that country If crop reports were anywhere near the facta. The specie holdings of the sixty-font National and State banks composing tho Clearing-house Association of New York, now amount to 91*9,402.800, of which It was estimated but about l par cent, or. approximately, 85.000.00 C fa stiver. The remaining 9164.400.00 C la tte greatest total of gold ever held by the Naw York banks. Eleven of the tanks have $107,175,300 of the total gpada holdings, and one of them, the IfiltPhtl City bank, baa nearly one ffk ef tba total, and a greater anasat than any single bank has ever kIM la tba oountry’s history. PUEBLO'S ANNUAL FESTIVAL. A Wraith of llniorulnmnit Kittadlßf Ovrr TUrrr Day* la July. Pueblo, the second city In the state of Colorado a** to ixipulatlon. aud the greatest smelting renter In the coun try. takes well-earned pride In Its an nual festival known ns the Pageant of States and Nations. Though this cus tom is hut a year old, the enterprise Ik of such a popular nature that the entire southern i*ortlon of the s'tate has taken an Interest In it. and Rocky Ford, Colorado Springs. Denver and fieveral other eltl»*s will Ik* represent ed with floats. In Pueblo all the res idents nre organized Into clubs of jh-o ple having the same native state or country. Thus there are the Pennsyl vania club, the Missouri club, tie* Germany club, tlie Italian club and even the Chinese club. Each club trl> s to outdo the other In the grand eur of Its display, and the friendly ri valry thus created results In flue ex hibits. In addition to the clubs, there is a central committee well supplied i with funds which looks after the fir* works, music and other sin-rial feat ures. The dates not for the pageant are Sunday, Monday ami Tuesday, July 3. -1 and f». During the winter Just over *hc Colorado Mineral Palace, the rnos wonderful building «>f Its kind, haw l**en completed, renovated and surrounded by a park That will Is* the srene of all the Indoor features of the program. The pageaut opens Sun day at 2:.'k> o’clock In the afternoon with a fine red concert at the Mineral Palace, and the national hymns will Is* sung by choruses composed of na tives of the several countries, accom panied by several large brass bands and stringed orchestras. For that evening there will Im* amusements at Mlnnoqua lake and other music about town. With sunrise Monday opens the real old fashioned Fourth of July, the an niversary of the day when the* llfM*rty bell, from the belfry of Independence hall at Philadelphia, proclaimed the message that tin- Stars and Stripes were supreme. With thousands of men In th** flehl lighting for the honor of old Glory it is not strange that the patriotic citizens of Colorado have a desire to celebrate the coming na tional day with unusual enthusiasm. A national solute will announce th** da.w and then th*- fun begins In real earnest. First thing on the program Is a parade of all the bands, and that will merge Into the Pageaut *»f States and Nations, which forms at the Min eral Palace at RrTIO a. in. This event gives promise of a celebration that will rival the Mardl Gras at New Ur bans or th** Festival of Mountain and Plain at Denver. No more need Is* said. Monday* afternoon there will Is* a display* of day fireworks, something new in th** llehl of pyrotechnics. There will Im* fireworks in the evening «»f Hu* kind that make the heavens bril liant with splendor, and tc* close th** day a masked dance in front of the grand stand. But that will not close the program, for on Tuesday there will Is* an iudus trial display such as can only la* fur nished by* the home <»f tlie Bessemer stwl works, the Philadelphia smelter, the Pueblo smelter. the Colorado smelter, the Igannon foundry, tho Iron City foundry and a score of other plants which work day and night converting the wealth «*f the Rocky mountains Into commercial products. With It all then* will Is* mush*. Tues day afternoon the masked carnival takes place. That eveulug the naval combat will take place on Lake Min tiequa. This lake Is three aud one half miles in circumference and lms a deptti of thirty foot. An entire fleet of sldps have Im*oii built, und explo sion of all these at th** grand climax cannot help but remind the spectators of the Spanish fleet after they met Admiral Dewey In Manila harbor. The program close* with dances at both the Ink** pavilion and the Mineral Palace. During th** pageant th** Ho ver Wheel and Athletic Flub gives a state bicycle meet at their track on Lake avenue. On account of the Immense crowds assured, the Colorado Passenger As sociation has made very low rates to Pueblo for the celebration. All W#nl Honda. New York. June 17.—Savings batiks depositors have been withdrawing a great deal of money with which to buy government bonds, but while th** sum has been large In the aggregate it has been evenly distributed and no com plaints have been heard from the banks. It Is pointed out that the savings banks deposits In New York stare alone exceed $700,000,000. It Is reported here that financial In stitutions that want some of the bonds and fear they will all Ik* gone before their turn comes, are giving wads of s7*oo each to their clerks. The clerks are to buy the Iwnds and will turn them over to the banks later. To-day there was a line of buyers more than a block long at the Wall Street sub treasury. Th* Big Wheat DttL Chicago. June 17.—The tangled inter ests of Joseph loiter have been swept from the wheat pit. I*. I>. Armour Is now in complete control and the final settlement of the big wheat deal is only a matter of detail. All Lelter books and memoranda have been transferred to the office* of Armour, together with contracts and bills of lading for 7,000,000 bushels of cash wheat. Amour has begun to dis pose of his large holdings. The bankers now think that Letter's losses, as they stand now, will not ex ceed 82.000,000, while Lelter expects to make quite a bit out of Armour's hand ling. The wheat market showed consider able weakness this morning. Sales were heavy, bat at general decrease*. The project la discussed of building a railroad which will extend entirely «cross northern Sweden and Norway from the northern *.wl of the Golf of Finland northwest to Ofoteu on the At* (antic, about 120 mile* north of the Arctic circle.

The Alger plan In brief 1* to molMillze 20.000 or 35.<»m at Fernnndlnn. Florida, and ship them to Form Rico from that jHdut tin d**r command of Major General Cop pi nger. In the first place, there has l»een con siderable objection to Coppinger. He - a foreigner; In* N not a graduate of West Point: In* was m't n citizen of tin* l nited State* until he became a brlga tiler general, nml even then took out naturalization papers only for the pur pose of joining tin* Loyal Legion; In* Ik a Catholic, and It Is argued he should not Ik* sent In command of troops to a Catholic country like Porto Rico.

H«* has the strong (Kicking of General Miles and Adjutant General Corbin, and, although wheu he was appointed a brigadier general four or five years ago. In* did not stand very high prof*-* filonally, it is claimed at tho War De partment no man In the list of depart incut commanders has made a better record than he. I: Is almost certain that the President will ai.*oept the rec ommendations of Miles axnl Corbin and let Coppinger lead the Porto Rican ex pedition. General Miles, however, will not ul* low himself to b< drawn into the rail road fight, and has made a recommeu dntion which, although it upset* the plans of tin* War Department, seem* to be practical and sensible. lie rec ommends that'the.troop* and supplies now at Tampa Ik* shipped from that place, where temporary facilities have been provided and the experience of the Cuban orfped.tlon lias taught many valuable lessons. He sees no n-aron why these facilities should Im* aban doned and the troops and supplies transferred to another point simply for the purpose «»f hauling them on nans* jH»rtM. He suggests that the troops and supplies at Jacksonville Ik* started from Fernand I mi. those at Chicknmau gn from Brunswick and thos** at Washington from NcwjKirt News or Baltimore or equally convenient in.rts. General Miles argues that It Is use less expense to take troops out of one camp and establish them in another unless they are to remain permanent ly at the second place. Nothing can be gained, for example, in taking troops from Chlckaumuga to Fermi ndlna and allowing them to remain there mitil they nre ready to go to sea. He urges that they Ik* retained nt Chlckauumga until the transports are ready to re ceive them, *o that they can march alxmrd from the car* as soon as they arrive. Nor does he see any advantage In sending the entire expedition from a single place. It will save a long and ex pensive Journey to ship the troops now at Washington from Newport News or Baltimore instead of taking them to Fernnndlnn or Tampa, and at either of the former places better fa cilities exist for handling men. live stock nml supplies. General Miles has been spending the afternoon trying to convince Secretary Alger of the advantages of his plan. The President and Cabinet regard it very favorably and It will probably be adopted. There Is no intention of sending a fleet across the sea. The matter has not even been seriously considered. Several persons have suggested at dif ferent times that it would be a g<>od Idea to bombard Cadiz or some other of the Spanish ports. The capture of the Canary* Islands has also been ad vocated In various quarters, but the president thinks our army and navy have plenty to do nearer home at pres ent, and that they will he kept busy on this side of the water until the Spanish flag Is removed from Ameri can soli and the United States Is in liossession of all the Spauish-Ameri can colonies.

June 10.—To-day was an except iounlly I m-xiutiftil day at Camp Thomas. and a eool breeze eon tiniiotis]y astir, made park life a de light. It was sipniflcantly a day of rest among the soldiers. AH drills were omitted and the Sabbath was generally observed. Iu this respect, the day was somewhat in contrast with many of its predecessors. The chaplain* of the va rious repl incuts It* Id services and the V M. ('. A. and evangelical cohorts were actively at work. The reverence with which these services were listened to and the general pood order which prevailed amonp tlie camps were sip niflcant of a hiph moral tone which pervades the entire army. The soldiers were forbidden to con prepate at points of amusement and practically all remained in camp, with the exception of some who had permis sion to spend the day ou I.ookout mountain. The effort of General Boynton and the Goorpin authorities to restore order at Lytle and rid the outskirts of pain bllnp houses has been productive of pood results. At Lytle to-day all sa loons a ml pnmbllnp bouses were her metically sealed. Six hundred recruits for various rop imonts arrived durinp the day. makitip a total for three days of nearly 1.800. TiitH the 10.000 more have reached the park the dally arrivals promise to in crease rapidly. Prominent amonp to day's arrivals were the followinp: Brigadier General Peter C. Hayes. Third division.

The Cadiz fleet Is sill! cruising along the Spanish coast. New Mexico will furnish fifty re cruits for the cavalry regiment now In Cuba. The latest reports from Manila are that the Insurgents nre still gaining victories ami that the condition of the clly is so critical that It wll fall speedily after the American troops ar rive. A cable to the Herald from Berlin says: "I am expressly authorized by the foreign office to repent the assur ances already given the rtilted States government that (lermauy has no ob ject in the ritillppines except the pro tection of the lives and property of the Germans, the Swiss and the Por tuguese. Oermauy has absolutely no Idea of Intervention. According to estimates made by Ad jutant General Corbin, the total num ber of troops left at Tampa after the sailing of the Santiago expedition ia In the neighborhood of 23.0U0. At Jack- Kinvllle it is estimated by the adjutant general that there are about 0.000 men. This would make the entire .strength of the forces most eligibly lo cated for. embarkation to Porto Blco 32.000 men. The big American liners, Paris and New York, now converted Into the auxiliary cruisers Yale and Harvard of the Culled States navy, are to be used as troop transports for the Puer to Rican expedition. These Teasels are now at Newport News receiving the armament which was Intended for but not placed upon them when they were first ordered to sea. The use of the Yale and Harvard In the new rapacity has been decided upon owing to diffi culty encountered in securing proner troop ships for the Puerto Rican ex pedition.
